I'll share that Kritzerland recently released an unused score for this film by Ned Rorem - a composer I am unfamiliar with, but the samples prove this to be an unsung gem that warrants picking up (for those that love movie scores).

And now go purchase his Diaries as well to get a rounded portrait of the artist. The several volumes are all gems, as are his symphonies, his vocal works, etc.

Just got my copy of "Panic".
Its altogether uncanny just how much Pacino looked like William Holden.:lol:

Based on only three Posts, I am also inspired to check out Ned Rorem's works; and, down the road when time allows, go so far as to delve into his diaries, as well. Already, "Panic in Needle Park" was a sale for me; due to this early Al Pacino performance. But this newer offering from TT became an even stronger interest, due to the conversations about this omitted score. A real bonus - if not coup - that makes this edition feel like a two-for-one steal. Thank you Neil Middlemiss, haineshisway and bujaki for these added leads and further ways to enjoying this title and composer.:thumbs-up-smiley:

P.S. It seems that no one got my play on words and TT output, as I was jokingly referring to "Picnic".;)
